Which reminds me of the story about the world-renowned philosopher from
the University of Heidelberg. He introduced his lecture to the Philosophy
Society with: "Gut evening gentlemen. Ze title of my lekture today is: "On
Being True, Just, Temperant and Courageous." Unfortunately, I veel not
have ze time to speak about oll of zese, zo I veel speak on only von. I
veel speak on "Being."
